I've worked as a photo/journalist for twenty plus years. I've covered everything from politics, news, fashion and rock & roll.
My background has been in fashion, working as a New York fashion model for twenty seven years with Eileen Ford and later with Wilhelmina.
I was the Boston correspondent for the national TLC show, "Designing Spaces" and the cable news anchor for "Wellesley This Week" for many years.
As a journalist I have worked as a staff photographer for a newspaper, as an editor for Patch.com and currently the Editor of the Milton Times.
My articles for Examiner.com are interviews with musicians and bands. I think it is more important for the reader to get to know the artist on a more personal level rather than putting my spin on their words.
Each week, I put together a weekend round up of what's happening in and around Boston.
See you round town!
